CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 (V7) Practice Question

A security analyst is reviewing the security posture of a manufacturing plant's Industrial Control System (ICS). The system is considered highly critical and is physically isolated from the company's main IT network. Which of the following represents the MOST appropriate security principle to apply when establishing a baseline for this ICS?

  • The primary security control is the air gap, so baseline configurations should focus exclusively on preventing network bridging.

  • The vendor is solely responsible for providing security patches, so a custom baseline is unnecessary.

  • The security baseline can be less stringent than corporate IT systems because the air gap effectively mitigates all major threats.

  • A stringent, specialized baseline is required because critical systems must be protected from a wide range of threats, including those that do not originate from the network.
